ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project aims to introduce and promote specific sustainable agriculture practices in castor farming to improve the livelihoods of local farmers and conserve the environment, with a focus on underutilized land in Chitwan. Its goal is to minimize soil degradation and erosion while maximizing agricultural productivity through the adoption of environmentally friendly techniques, primarily zero tillage, bio-pesticides, and bio-weedicides.
Furthermore, the project seeks to enhance the socio-economic conditions of small-scale farmers and landowners in the project area. By developing the market potential of castor farming and providing training and support, the project aims to increase income opportunities, reduce poverty, and improve food security for the local farming community.
Through focused efforts in castor farming and the application of sustainable agricultural techniques, the project aims to bring about positive and lasting change in the Chure region and the underutilized land of Chitwan.
